Abstract

The protein product of the v-myb oncogene of avian myeloblastosis virus, p48v-myb, differs structurally in several ways from its normal cellular homolog, p75c-myb. We demonstrated that the 11 specific amino acid substitutions found in two independent molecular clones of this virus were not required for the transformation of myeloblasts by v-myb.
